Pedestrian killed in SR125 accident

LA MESA  A 42-year-old woman described by authorities as a transient was struck by three motorists and killed Thursday night when she ran into southbound traffic on state Route 125, the California Highway Patrol said.

A 46-year-old Spring Valley woman driving a Mazda about 65 mph was unable to swerve away or stop, and her car struck Ducret, the CHP said.

Ducret was knocked down in an adjacent lane, where she was struck by two other motorists, a 44-year-old Chula Vista man driving a Toyota, and a 21-year-old San Diego man in a Hyundai. The drivers were not injured, the CHP said.

All freeway lanes were temporarily blocked, and traffic was diverted off at Spring Street for about an hour.
